Christmas Mischief

One of my favorite short stories…

Christmas Mischief

and A Night Owl Review Top Pick.

What could be worse than driving down a county road on a cold, snowy December afternoon and getting a flat tire... Being locked out of your car by your exuberant dog, acting like a fool trying to get back in when a tall dark handsome stranger stops and then the man doesn't ask for your phone number.

And my favorite recipe for Gluehwein

Gluehwein,

1 (750 milliliter) of an inexpensive bottle red wine -

3/4 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

A package of mulling spices (3 ounces)*

Cheesecloth

Cinnamon Sticks

In a saucepan, add water, sugar, and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer.

Place mulling spices in a cheesecloth. Drop into the pan and simmer for 30 minutes or until thick and syrupy.

Turn off the heat and pour in wine until steaming. Remove cheesecloth with spices. (Some people will also add 1/2 cup of Brandy)

Pour hot water into mugs/cups to preheat them, dump the water out and add wine and garnish with cinnamon stick.

About Me

Yes, Christine Columbus is my real name.
I currently live in Wisconsin (scratched that I final made it South and live in Iowa) but I believe this is a temporary situation and someday I will be trading in my snow shovels, boots and scarves for sun screen and sandals.
SOMEDAY, has arrived. I am on the Pacific Coast and I have no need for snow shovels or snow boots.
